After trunk or treating we went back to our house and neighborhood to go trick or treating. The joys of living in a mostly LDS population is Halloween is never on Sunday. It is always done on Saturday when Halloween falls on a Sunday. We love it.
Kaelen didn't want to go at all when we got home from trunk or treating so he stayed at home and watched a movie while I handed out Halloween candy to the kids that came to the house. Enoch was wonderful and took Rachel and Jacob out. Rachel's friend from behind us Meriell came with them. They went trick or treating around 6 PM and came home at 8 PM. Rachel wanted to go out with her friend so Enoch made her stay with Jacob till 7 PM and then she was able to go on her own and Enoch took Jacob everywhere. Enoch is such a good Dad to do that. I can handle walking around for maybe 20 minutes and then I am so sore. It was nice of Enoch to do that and he seemed to enjoy himself as well.
Once the kids got home we had to get pictures of them all out in front of the house together and with their pumpkins. It was light when they started so we waited till after. Rachel, Jacob and Kaelen were good sports about it and cooperated during pictures. Kaelen was even happy to get his costume back on for the pictures.
We had a bunch of kids this year like we always do but I didn't recognize half of them. Most people from other neighborhoods come to ours to get candy. In total between the trunk or treating and trick or treating we handed out over 350 pieces of candy. Wow that was a lot.
After we were done with our candy we blew out our pumpkins, turned off the lights, gave the kids baths and showers and went downstairs to watch How to Train your Dragon for the first time. Yes I will admit we had never seen it even though Jacob was Hiccup from the movie. Kaelen went to bed and didn't watch the movie but the rest of us did. Wow did I love that movie. It was so good. It is one that I would eventually love to own. It is funny with great characters.
We had a really great day. We loved being at Grandpa and Grandma's house as well as the trunk and trick or treating.
Happy Halloween to everybody.

So cute! I love Jacob and Kaelen's costumes. How to train your dragon is one of mine and Boyd's favorite movies. Rachel looked awesome in her 80's diva outfit too! :-) Looks like a lot of fun. I'm excited to go trick or treating again someday.
I loved your kids costumes. It was fun seeing you on Halloween.
We almost made it over to your house to go trick or treating. Evie would have loved it. I only wish she had not fallen asleep so fast. It was a busy day. Your kids scored big time!
